Garou: Mark of the Wolves on XBLA (800 points)

mow-bonne-jenet1

We are at ASP spent a few hours re-hashing our SNK skills on this (re)release of an arcade classic and also reminding me of how much better SNK are at designing female characters (I’m looking at you Chun-Legs).

Skipping all the usual new release article fodder let’s head straight to the Grimey. This game has some serious INPUT LAG while playing online, compare it to playing someone with 1-2red bars in SF4, even though the game clearly says 50ms ping time. Huh!

Still fun and a great game to add to the collection!

For those of us LUCKY enough to have the arcade ROM remember that GGPO supports Garou and offers a much better online play.

 

GAAAAAYYYYY

It’s Funny Because They’re Young

Vincent Van Gough once said “Great things are done by a series of small things brought together”.   He no doubt was saying that it takes many little efforts to accomplish something great.  Something akin to “a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step”.  We like to think he was talking about compilation videos of small children crashing hard on tricycles.  The thing you really want to look out for here is HOLY SHIT THAT KID JUST SLAMMED HIS FACE!!!

 

conan + mario = lulz

Really funy stuff from the Red Haired One since he officially started doing the Tonight Show from Los Angeles last week.  One of the first things we noticed about the show’s new set was the backdrop during Conan’s opening monologue.  There was something strange about it…something so vaguely familiar…

Left 4 Dead 2 Announced @ E3

I don’t know how I feel about this one. It seems a bit too early for a L4D sequel, right? Or is it just me? Theyjust released the SDK…

I guess you can get excied about… Left 4 Dead 2: Katrina was actually a clusterfuck of zombies
